Presentation

As in previous years, it is with great pleasure that the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) presents the 2013 edition of top@DIPC – Zientziarekin solasean! - Encounters between Nobel laureates and secondary school students.

The principal aim of these encounters, which have been held annually since 2009, is to foster students’ interest in and enthusiasm for science and technology and to kindle a passion for knowledge in their young minds.

This year we have scheduled three encounters: one in San Sebastián, another in Bilbao and, for the first time, a third one in Vitoria-Gasteiz. We will be maintaining the informal nature of the encounters, offering young students the chance to chat with top-level scientists, including a number of Nobel laureates, and ask them direct questions.

In addition to Pedro M. Echenique, who will act as both chair and presenter, each encounter will be attended by two internationally renowned researchers from different fields, selected from among the guest speakers at A Passion for Knowledge - Quantum 13. The guest speakers will talk directly about their own passion for science and research, and will respond to the questions asked by participating students about their past experiences and professional careers.

The top@DIPC Zientziarekin solasean! encounters are aimed at students who will either be in their final year of secondary school or at science baccalaureate during the 2013-2014 academic year. To register for the encounters, schools should complete the registration form available on this website. The deadline to register is the 7^th of september.
